Your Biggest Threat in 2015 – Your Threat Assessment Capabilities

Fact: Hundreds of post-event reports have revealed over and over again that prevention was/is possible.

Fact: Preventing incidents and tragedies delivers better results than reacting to incidents and tragedies. AND preventing incidents and tragedies means less damage to you, your organization’s reputation, your bottom line and much less drama for everyone involved.

2014 provided numerous examples of preventable incidents that were not prevented and three undeniable lessons:

Organizations cannot prevent incidents if the right people are not aware of indicators/warning signs.

Prevention is possible because pre-incident indicators were almost always (if not always) observed and/or reported.

Whether the right people within the organization know or don’t know, the organization and leadership are still being held liable in lawsuits and in the media because someone did know and your organization reasonably should have known.

Like the examples above, nearly every post-incident report reveals warning signs and pre-incident indicators existed… but due to limited Threat Assessment Capabilities (see list below) the right information did not get to the right people in the right place at the right time and preventable tragedies were not prevented.

Educators appreciate research-based data and the data and the message to all organizational leaders is clear too…

In 2015 and going forward, organizations MUST improve their Threat Assessment Capabilities to more effectively and more proactively prevent incidents, negative headlines, lawsuits, reputational damage, expensive fines, violence, cyber-attacks and breaches, tragedies, homegrown terrorism and numerous other new/changing threats organizations are facing all across the USA and around the world.

Ignoring the data and the facts and not taking immediate actions to improve your Threat Assessment Capabilities could result in very costly and tragic consequences.

Don’t wait and don’t leave your students, employees, parents and community vulnerable to mounting risks and threats. To find out how you can improve your organization’s Threat Assessment Capabilities, schedule a Threat Assessment Capabilities review today by clicking here.
